*It's starting to look a lot like Christmas,

in time for Mothers' Day...*

I think I should give my mum a bouqet of poinsettias for Mothers' Day. I can't believe it snowed last night! I looked outside my window this morning and there was still a smattering of snow on the dirt ground. I don't run well in snow, so I went right back to bed and slept in! When I checked The Weather Network I found out it was minus five (celcius, that's the same as piss ass cold in farenheit) with the dew point and windchill. Tomorrow if there's still snow on the ground I'll go for a walk and see what my running trail looks like. I can't believe how much it snowed in the interior!

I finally got a ticket to see R.E.M. on May 23 at Deer Lake Park. We couldn't afford for both of us to go so my husband generously let me purchase the ticket. The concert is on rain or shine; I wonder if it'll snow??

We went to my friend's memorial service yesterday. There were 300 people there in total. We'll miss him a lot.

Soon we'll have construction done to the outside of our house; 8-5, Mondays-Fridays, and they'll need access to the inside of our house too. It will go one for about 5 to 8 months. This will be fun the days after I've worked an evening shift. One of my neighbours works graveyards. Wish me strength.

The US election is so interesting this time around. I wonder how it will turn out. I think the whole world is paying attention to this one.

I hope everyone had a great Christmas and a Wonderful New Year to you all too!

I just got over that pnuemonia and now I'm getting over another cold! Thankfully this one is much more mild. It would be nice to be healthy for at least some months in a row though. :P

Showcase Diva isn't playing Charmed every day anymore, and at awkward times....

I had my other x-rays done; the pneumonia is all cleared out of my lungs now. I still have a bit of a cough, but that's from congestion and irritation now. They found that my lymph nodes are a bit enlarged, so I have to wait for the hospital to call me to set up an appointment for a cat scan. The doctor said it's probably just due to the pneumonia running its course, and it will disappear on its own, but they have to double check in case it's something more serious. In all likely hood it's not though.

Hope everyone reading this has a great autumn/spring!

So it turns out I have pneumonia. I've finished my antibiotics today, so hopefully they will do the trick. In a couple of weeks I'll have to go have x-rays done again.

We often get mail with the wrong address on it. We got a letter with an address on it that doesn't even exist, so the postee figured it could be our address because our's is close. I tried looking up the name on the envelope up in the phone book and on the online phonebook, but couldn't find him. Normally I would write return to sender on it and place it on my mailbox, but if it was just junk mail normally I just stick it in the recycling and shred the part with the person's name and address on it. I opened it, and it was the guy's cellphone bill. Because I couldn't find him in the phone book I just shredded it; hoping maybe he would contact the cell phone company because he hadn't received his bill yet. So think about this for a minute....What info is on a person's cellphone bill.....? They're cellphone number! *sigh* All I can do now is if I get another bill for this guy is to phone him then. I can't have the post office return the bill once I've opened it. Sometimes I wonder about myself.

I've managed to have decent weather and have managed to go to the park for a bit and hang out on my balcony, which are things I really like to do. Guy and I didn't go to the Quay or anything because he's still quite sick. But the main thing is I'm away from work, and albeit Guy being sick, I've been getting enough sleep too, which I needed badly.

The only setback was Guy's having trouble breathing on Monday night, so he had to go to the hospital. I wasn't too worried once the ambulance took him away because I knew he was in good hands. I was going to go visit him on Tuesday, but at about six in the morning I heard the key in the door; they had dispatched him already. They gave him a prescription which I got filled on Tuesday. Since then he's slowly been getting better. He's a bit agitated because he hasn't been able to smoke a cigarette, but he seems to be weathering that alright. It was a bit scary but everything seems to be alright now, and I've been having a good holiday despite it.

I responded to comments in my last entry, but other comments I made in other journals I might have not got yet because the email thingy telling me I have a reply isn't working for me, either our email is down or it's with LJ. So I'm sorry if I haven't replied to something. :/

Our grocery co-op is thinking of expanding to a larger store; when they do I think I'll drop them a resume...

I have a ten hour workday today; from noon 'til 10 pm. At least the overtime will be good!

I'd like to catch up on other people's LJs today, but the 'net is so slow this morning! Please forgive me, but I might try this again another day instead. *Sigh*

What these Poster Tests are?

My husband had his 20 year AA cake on Thursday. My mother got up and talked. I'm as much proud of her now as I am my husband!

On another note: Svend Robinson is moving to France to take on a position with an International Trades Union. I'm very happy for him but will miss him a lot. I might have to miss his little going away gathering too because I often work on Tuesdays....I'd outright ask for it off but they already let me have Thursday night off and I'm really pushing to get Christmas Eve afternoon off--So I don't want to push too much! Our new manager is really new to managing us merchandisers too, so I want to give him as much support as I can--especially since he's pulling double duty being our manager and keeping his old position as Inventory Manager at the same time until they find someone else to fill his old job.

I saw something on the Weather Network about environmentally safe coffins. What struck me as odd is that they put pillows in coffins. Why?

There has to be a more gentle way to clean an oven. Easy Off just about makes me pass out. :/
